Since you are not going with number 4 (which was my first choice) than I would go with number 1. It's the newer of the three and has the least amount of miles. That will help you when it's time to sell it next year.

well like most said i would go with choice #4 but if you have any plans of driving hard you will need more than a upgraded rear end to handle the abuse, the stock 4L60E does not like 490 rwhp, i'd also look into subframe connectors, and maybe a driveshaft, if those are not already upgraded. finding a car like that in that kind of condition with so few miles is rare so if you got the cash i would jump all over it.

#4 is cool because its a low milege SS...I dont really like autos though, and I wouldnt buy any others cause I dont like verts.But you have alot of nice cars with low miles for good prices I dont see how you could go wrong.

I would go with number one. 02's all ready have the LS6 intake and better heads. The 98's really aren't the best way to go if you have a choice imo.

Good info. I did not know that the 02's had the LS6 intake. That's why I love this forum. I am always learning something.

Default Car # 2 is the winner

Well I cound not pass this car up. It was owned by a 57 year old guy and always garaged. The car is only 90 miles from my house, so no shipping fees.

This is a 99 Z28 A4 22,100 Miles All orginal except for battery. It is white with a whit top and white leather interior. You don't see too many in this color combo. (At least I don't)

I paid $10,900 on the ebay auction and one it. I thought that was a good deal. Since I am a Procharger Dist., I will be installing there twin intercooled system on this car and she will come alive. Here are some photos.

The 02 got off the list because it had been driven in salt. the guy lied about that. It was rusty on the underside.

So do you think that 10,900 was a good price?
